My boyfriend dragged me, as well as 2 friends, to the escape zone yesterday. I never had any desire to intentionally go into a situation where I was trapped and given vague instruction, in a puzzle-like fashion, to escape in 45 minutes. He, on the other hand, had some deep seeded need to be handcuffed and locked into a room with 3 other people, while clothed. Im still considering why we're dating.
HOWEVER
this ish is F-U-N. We did the black room and succeeded. It was all of our first times, so if you're a bit standoff-ish, like I was, don't be afraid to push yourself. The beginner room sounds like a bore. Have fun!
